KINETIC

The stairs of the Fox School of Business at Temple University were explored using our own bodies going up and down the stair. A choreography using martial arts was done to highlight the moments where the body interacts with the structure of the stair and how it is done to compare it to the normal going up and down.

 

Using the choreography and the moments, a second structure was done to the stair to emphasize those moments. I designed this structure to be a sequence of triangles that vary in size and angles, vertically and horizontally to create a kinetic sequence of movements. My design used the structure to make the person that uses the stair recreate the movements in the choreography and mainly, to interact with the stair the way that was done in the choreography.
